Celestron Regal M2 80ED Overview

The angled-viewing Regal M2 80ED Spotting Scope from Celestron combines a high-transmission optical path with a nitrogen-filled magnesium-alloy housing to deliver reliable imaging performance at low light and in unforgiving weather conditions. At the core of the Regal M2 are fully multi-coated optics, including BAK4 prisms and an extra-low dispersion (ED) glass objective that minimizes chromatic aberration and maximizes light gathering. Multiple layers of Celestron's proprietary XLT coating on each lens preserve brightness and transmit contrast-rich images to the eyepiece.

This version of the Regal M2 spotting scope includes a 20-60x eyepiece that is ideal for intermediate- to long-range glassing. The broad magnification range, comfortable 20mm eye relief, and twist-up rubber eyecup make this zoom eyepiece well suited for long-duration observations. The scope's standard 1.25" eyepiece mount will accept most astronomy eyepieces, which enables a near-infinite number of optical configurations.

Complementing the image quality and weather-sealed construction of the Regal M2, several features enhance the scope's functionality and observer's user experience. An included T-adapter ring permits DSLR camera mounting to the objective assembly, transforming the 80ED into a high-transmission digiscoping platform. The rotating tripod collar has a 1/4"-20 mounting socket and is detented at multiple positions to provide the observer with alternate viewing orientations. A sliding sunshade, sighting aid, and dual-focus mechanism equip the Regal M2 with the functionality needed for a wide range of outdoor glassing applications.

Celestron Regal M2 80ED Reviews

Eyepiece fell off. Not screwed, just glued

By Anne
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2022-09-16

I bought the scope in May, 2022. and now it's September 2022. The eyepiece fell off the body of the scope. Celestron service indicates it should be glued and screwed on. It is only held on by a thin layer of glue. A serious flaw and glad my camera wasn't attached when it fell off.

Quality and functionality

High quality construction and great optics. Cannot tell the difference between this Celestron and a $3,000 Swarovski, though I have not used them side-by-side. It is also very easy to use. Focus, zoom, and eye relief all work great. The only negative is that the case is a little bulky, but it can stay on while scope is in use which is great.
